Social Media and Your Brand



When we upload photos to Facebook, send a tweet about our social lives, or write an opinionated piece on a blog, we don’t often think about how we’re being represented nor how others may perceive us. However, when we engage in activity on these different forms of social media, we are also developing and establishing our personal brand.

According to branding expert, Dan Schawbel, a brand helps one “...differentiate themselves and stand out from a crowd by identifying and articulating their unique value proposition, whether professional or personal, and then leveraging it across platforms with a consistent message and image to achieve a specific goal.”

Whether you know it or not, you currently have and are cultivating your very own personal brand every moment you log on to your favorite social networking site.
